Medicine Expirations

One time, I was checking all the clutter that we have at home and found my small transparent bag where I put all my spare medicines before. I noticed I had a lot of pain killers and paracetamols and take note, most of them are from when I had my c-section in 2013.

I checked the expiration dates of the spare medicines and some of them has their expiration dates printed on the foil which I appreciate the most kasi it makes me keep those that are still okay and those that needs to be thrown out.Kaya lang, there were some na walang nakalagay specially those that are were left out. Yung tipong nabili mo ng tingi? If it's isang banig, it's fine kasi you could see it pero if not then waley.. =( I have no choice but to throw them away. Better be safe than sorry.

This one went to trash!

Anyway, I also had Jami's medicines which has been used before but has been kept in our room which wasn't really exposed to heat so I was thinking if it's still okay to use. He had a tempra syrup that I tossed and bought a new one even there's still quite a few amount left. I was thinking kasi na baka hindi na pwede yung dati.

I was told naman that as long as it is kept refrigerated then it's fine but as of the moment we didn't have a fridge so I opted to keep it in our bedroom.

I always keep my medicine on the fridge :) There are other meds that are good for only two weeks after opening so I always take note of that and throw after. The only ones I hoard are Tempra and Disudrin :))

As for me, If I don't see the exp. date I throw it too.. kaso napapaisip ako about the ones that are sold in sari sari stores, kasi ginugupit nila yung meds and you can't see if expired na siya or not.. hmmm
